Your live technical build + customer-delivery practice
Learn with the 7 November Enterprise Mastery cohort.
Enterprise Mastery: learn with the 7 November 2026 cohort. Develop architecture, implementation, evaluation and production-readiness skills through one connected build.
FDE adds the delivery layer. Access the current FDE cohort recordings released so far and join its remaining scheduled live case labs. New recordings follow the sessions. One future FDE live cohort is included when its schedule is announced. Future dates are not yet announced; coordinate your place with support.

What starts on 7 November?
The Enterprise Mastery live cohort starts on 7 November 2026, Sat/Sun, 7–10 AM IST. FDE is a separate, already-running live programme: use its published recordings and join remaining case labs. One future FDE live cohort is also included when announced.
Am I too late for the FDE cohort?
No. Enrolments remain open. Start with the published recordings and join the remaining live case labs. One future FDE live cohort is also included when announced, so you can revisit the programme live. No future start date has been announced.
Do I need another Manifold purchase first?
No. Enterprise Mastery and AI Architect are included. Be ready to work with code and APIs; use Enterprise’s Python and LangChain preparation where needed. Developer Bootcamp is a separate option for progressive agent-building practice, not a mandatory purchase.
Do existing Enterprise learners pay for Enterprise again?
Ask support to review your actual payments and confirm eligible credit and the remaining amount before buying. Checkout displays the full package amount and does not deduct existing purchases automatically. Part-payment balances must also be checked.
Can I pay for this package in two parts?
This package is one full payment. Enterprise’s standalone Flexi Pay pilot continues on its own checkout and does not apply to this package.
Does this include Diamond or Level Up?
No. You receive the six named programmes, their course materials and the cohort benefits described here. The Level Up workspace, broader eligible catalogue and future standard courses belong to Diamond. Private Founder sessions are separate. Existing Diamond learners do not need to buy this package.
Is a role transition or job outcome guaranteed?
No. This is a skills-development pathway. Progress depends on applying the material and building evidence; employment, interviews, promotion, salary and delivery outcomes are not guaranteed.
